ROCKWELL CITY, IA. — Michele Bachmann didn’t draw much of a crowd during her stop at a Pizza Ranch here on Saturday afternoon, but that just gave her time to get chummy with the few who did show up.

And she sure did.

First she struck up a conversation with Gene JuVette — and then she signed his bald head. With a crowd of about 10 and her entourage looking on, Bachmann first signed her autograph across JuVette’s cranium.

And then she signed JuVette’s name.

And then — just so no one would forget — she added Jan. 3, 2012, the date of the Iowa caucuses.

“The headline tomorrow will be ‘Bachmann is ahead in Iowa!’ ” she quipped.
